Russell Park

Russell Park is a small urban park located in the West End neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. Established in 1950, this 1.1-acre park was donated to the city by Ernest J. Russell, a prominent St. Louis architect who served as president of the American Institute of Architects and was an Honorary Corresponding Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

The park is situated at the southwest corner of Goodfellow Boulevard and Cabanne Avenue, providing a green space for local residents. While compact in size, Russell Park offers several amenities for visitors to enjoy, including playground equipment and a mid-century pavilion.

Over the years, Russell Park has faced challenges common to many urban parks, including maintenance issues and the need for community engagement. The park serves as a reflection of the surrounding neighborhood and its changing dynamics over time.
